Crustal deformation, the earthquake cycle, and models of viscoelastic flow in the asthenosphere [PDF]
The crustal deformation patterns associated with the earthquake cycle can depend strongly on the rheological properties of subcrustal material. Substantial deviations from the simple patterns for a uniformly elastic earth are expected when viscoelastic ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract The Late Cretaceous Oman ophiolite includes a series of volcanic rocks generated during the transition from spreading ridge to protoarc associated with subduction initiation. We analyzed major and trace elements and Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope compositions of lavas and dikes of the protoarc stage, especially boninites. We also analyzed amphibolites

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Silicate melts play a crucial role in planetary differentiation. The density contrast between silicate melts and the surrounding solid residue exerts a primary control on many magmatic processes. However, direct measurements of the density of silicate melts at high pressure (P) and temperature (T) conditions remain challenging, particularly ...

Origin of the Bulge Topography Within Caloris Basin, Mercury
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Caloris basin on Mercury has a massive circular bulge topography imprinted with unique fault sets. A variety of deformational processes have been proposed to have influenced their formation, including both global contraction and basin evolution, as well as the deposition and weight of the volcanic infill.

The width of fault zones in a brittle-viscous lithosphere: Strike-slip faults [PDF]
A fault zone in an ideal brittle material overlying a very weak substrate could, in principle, consist of a single slip surface. Real fault zones have a finite width consisting of a number of nearly parallel slip surfaces on which deformation is ...

A Lithospheric Drip Triggered Green and Colorado River Integration
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract The integration of the Green and Colorado Rivers shifted the continental drainage divide of North America, marking a key event in the hydrological and biogeographical evolution of the continent. Sedimentological and stratigraphic evidence shows that for integration to occur, the Green River likely cut through the Uinta Mountains between 8 and ...
